Chapter 1789 Steal chickens without losing rice, this is the beginning
The Song army that gathered to attack clearly had not yet attacked with force, but seemed to be overwhelmed by the powerful enemy and broke through the formation. Previously, it was able to maintain a relatively rigorous formation, but as the soldiers of the Song army retreated, they crowded and pushed, causing chaos.
With the expansion of the army, several groups of military formations seemed to be like an avalanche. The formations and queues were completely scattered, and they were just scrambling to escape from the battlefield. When the rebel soldiers above the head of Juye City saw them, they also erupted with thunderous roars.
The cheers shook the ground, but in fact many of them had expressions of surprise on their faces, even a little confused...
After all, Liu Guangshi now has far fewer opportunities to face confrontation with the Jin army than in the official history, so he has not yet been widely criticized by the world for his repeated avoidance of tough battles with foreign invaders and the reputation of "Long-legged General"
Although Tang Bin, Li Ying, and Liu Tang's rebel leaders who originally guarded Juye, the headquarters of Jeju, adopted Wu Yong's strategy to deal with the enemy in accordance with Gongsun Sheng's suggestion, they originally thought that they would have to fight to the death to resist the Song Dynasty.
Several rounds of fierce attacks by the army. At that time, Liu Guangshi and Zhemo had no choice but to lead his army to retreat because he knew that the Juye defenders had been prepared for a long time and could not attack the city for a long time. However, he still had most of the troops and horses.
Why was Liu Guangshi, the imperial envoy and inspector of the capital, really so afraid of fighting? He just ran away like that?
And if Xiao Tang were here, he would of course think: Basic operations, why panic, and why should you be surprised? This is indeed a common behavior of Liu Guangshi when he uses troops, and he can teach future generations in the name of the long-legged general.
It's so familiar, so how can it be that it's a name that's in vain?
But no matter what, the morale of the siege Song army suddenly dropped sharply, completely exposing their backs to the rebels, and it was time to take advantage of the situation to pursue and kill them. The three generals Tang Bin, Ou Peng, and Ma Lin immediately urged them to attack again.
Horses, each led his strong cavalry to join the array chasing Liu Guangshi's troops. At this time, Wu Yong, who was on top of Juye City and climbed onto the wall with Gongsun Sheng, saw that the attacking Song army was completely defeated, and the
When the rebel army was like a rainbow, taking advantage of the situation to pursue them, he suddenly felt a burst of heartfelt joy in his heart, and the big stone that seemed to have been hanging in his heart was finally put down.
Although he was very excited in his heart, Wu Yong still tried his best to present the appearance of a wise military strategist who was calmly smiling at the situation. He slowly shook his feather fan and finally said the words that he had been holding in his heart for too long.
Words: "My plan...has come true!"
Although Tang Bin and other rebel generals led other troops to cover up the formation, it was because Liu Guangshi had already decided to retreat before commanding most of the Song army to attack the city wall, and there were strong generals such as Wang De behind them who tried their best to stop the rebels from pursuing them.
Without troops, it would be difficult to further expand the results. However, in total, the Song army led by Li Qiong who entered Juye was wiped out and captured, as well as Wang De who sacrificed his life in front of the city gate to kill the wounded cavalry under his command, as well as those who fled in defeat.
The infantry generals who were trampled on each other, or were overtaken and killed by the rebel pursuers, were estimated to have suffered casualties of three to four thousand more than the rebel defenders who were at a disadvantage in Juye. However, although Liu Guangshi's Song army had experienced
This battle has not yet reached the point of breaking one's muscles and bones, but at this time there is no fighting spirit at all.
I originally thought that I could capture the Jeju Administrative Office in one fell swoop, and then sweep through the states and counties on Jingdong Road, which was under the control of Xiaotang and had a relatively empty rear. However, this first battle hit a hard nail. Liu Guangshi did not personally come to the battle formation to command the killing force.
He was frightened, and along the way he was only thinking about how to defend himself to the court. However, when he led the Song army in dejection to the junction of Jeju and Puzhou, he saw two directions from the east and south.
Another soldier from the Imperial Envoy Office was fleeing. Liu Guangshi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition...
"Report! Mr. Liu, something bad happened! Just when Yu Xun was leading his army to take the Jeju Administrative Office directly, the Feijie Army Zhang Qing's troops under the Xiaotang Marshal's Office took advantage of the vacancy in the rear of our army and made a surprise attack.
They captured Juancheng, the seat of the Puzhou government. The Feijie army came so quickly that the defenders had no time to close the city. Two commanders from the Imperial Envoy Division tried to resist, but they were attacked by the Qing envoy Fei Shi.
If you fall off your horse, you will be captured!"
"Report! Liu Xianggong also took advantage of Xie's army to reach Juye. Lin Chong, the general under Xiao Tang's command, led his Tianxiong army to attack Shanfu City, the governor of Shanzhou, and together with Chengwu, Yutai and Dangshan three
The County Inspection Department was afraid of the powerful troops and horses of the Marshal's Office, so they just surrendered. Now, almost all of Shanzhou is under the control of Lin Chong's troops!"
When Liu Guangshi heard the battle reports that Puzhou and Shanzhou had been lost one after another, his first reaction was not to be angry and resentful because he stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice. Instead, he thought with lingering fear: It's just as I expected! Xiao Tangna
Sis, I have long known that the court will not allow him to take advantage of the situation to get bigger, and he has already made arrangements on Jingdong Road, waiting for me to go and seize the capital of his state. This is a trap that has been set for a long time! In such a situation, it is him
The soldiers and horses of all the troops are calculated by their intentions but not their intentions. If our army makes a bold move, it is likely that we will still fall into the plot of those guys!
Liu Guangshi thought to himself, thinking that it would be more difficult to fight fiercely with the powerful soldiers and generals under Xiao Tang's command. After the fall of Pu, Shan Erzhou did not bother to send his army to recover it, and immediately ordered the army to change its route and march to the southeast.
, decided to allocate Xuzhou and Huaiyang military boundaries to the south, bordering the east and west roads of Huainan, to reorganize and garrison.
However, the city that was bound to be captured was not captured, and the military states under its jurisdiction were lost one after another. They fled south in a panic all the way... How could this battle be fought like this? Several members of the army headed by Wang De
The generals of the Song Army immediately warned Liu Guangshi not to retreat anymore. Even if Jeju could not be conquered, the lost state capital must be recaptured at least. Otherwise, even if Liu Xianggong still has excuses to explain to the court, the battle has reached this point, but
Don’t you think it’s a bit too cowardly?
Unexpectedly, the generals tried their best to persuade Liu Guangshi, but they were so angry that Liu Guangshi became angry. He suddenly changed his expression and cursed in public: "The traitors of Xiaotang are cunning in their military use. He has already underestimated the importance of the military situation.
Knowing that the imperial court has ordered the military commanders to cut off their party members and regain their own state capitals, now they are planning to wipe out our army. It is also obvious at a glance. But I still have the command of these many soldiers and horses.
There is still room to compete with Xiao Tang, but in the current situation of the battle, the only choice is to lose the car to save the commander.
Otherwise, if we are plotted by that traitor and our army's vitality is severely damaged, how can we recover our territory in the Song Dynasty? Among you guys, who dares to use Xiang's head as a guarantee for me?
, to induce our army to go to the rescue, isn’t this a trick set by those guys? By then the defenses of Jingdong and Huainan will be empty, and the Xiaotang thieves will take advantage of the situation and embezzle it, how can you afford it!?"
It was heard that Liu Guangshi was able to come up with such arrogant excuses in order to avoid another direct conflict with Xiao Tang's troops. The generals in the army were as anxious as Wang De, and they really strangled his immediate boss to death.
His heart was ready. But no matter how depressed and anxious Wang De was, he was determined not to do the act of arrogating and disobeying the superior officers in the army. No matter how angry he was and the military orders were overwhelming, he had no choice but to obey...Liu Guangshi then ordered again
The soldiers under his command must avoid the military state where the soldiers and horses of Xiao Tang's command were invading. Obviously they had not experienced a very fierce battle, so they took the southeast route to Xuzhou and rushed away from the Huaiyang Army territory.
However, at almost the same moment, the rebel troops on the two Jingdong Roads also took advantage of the situation and marched in. However, it was Liu Guangshi's army who seemed to be racing against the air. Apart from Pu and Shan's two military states,
Troops have also been allocated to advance under the rule of other prefectures on Jingdong Road. Originally, Liu Guangshi, following the imperial decree, intended to take Jeju first, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the states and prefectures on Jingdong Road that were still under the rule of Xiao Tang. But now it is the various tribes.
The rebels took the absolute initiative, and instead wanted to occupy most of the state capitals on the border of Jingdong Road that were originally guarded by the Song army...
